kO  replete  with  dramatic  incident  is  the  history  of  Salem^that 
it  has  been  no  easy  task  to  select  that  which  will  be  of  the 
greatest  interest  to  the  greatest  number  of  people.  The  maker  of  the 
Pageant  has  therefore  chosen  those  episodes  which  have  been  decid- 
ed turning  points  in  the  history  and  development  of  the  town. 

tj  Aside  from  its  educational  value  and  the  stimulating  of  local  pride 
in  past  achievement  it  is  believed  by  those  who  have  the  Pageant  in 
charge  that  it  will  strengthen  community  spirit,  reveal  artistic  resources 
and  turn  thought  naturally  from  the  past  to  the  future  and  encourage 
the  development  of  higher,  better  ideals.

Episode  I.  (a).  THE.  INDIANS  AT  NAUMKEAG,  THE 
INDIAN  NAME  OF  SALEM.  The  Indians  who  occupied 
the  land  which  is  now  Salem,  had  been  a  prosperous 
tribe,  but  at  the  coming  of  the  first  settlers  their 
number  was  so  small  that  they  were  not  considered  of  much 
importance,  in  the  times  of  war,  with  more  powerful  bands. 
They  lived  peacefully  in  their  small  "towne  of  wigwams"  on 
the  banks  of  the  river,  and  welcomed  the  newcomers  as  a 
source  of  protection  from  their  much-feared  enemies.

IN  1626  THE  INDIANS  WELCOME  THE  ADVENT  OF  THE  ENG-

Conant  came  to  Naumkeag  from  a  settlement  on  Cape  Ann. 
With  him  came  John  Woodbury,  John  Balch,  Peter  Palfrey, 
Richard  Norman  and  son,  Walter  Allen  and  William  Knight. 

The  Rev.  Mr.  White  of  Dorchester,  England,  who  was  in- 
terested in  the  formation  of  a  colony  at  Naumkeag,  urged 
Conant  not  to  desert  the  place,  promising  to  send  other  col- 
onists and  provisions  from  England. 

John  Woodbury  soon  after  went  to  England  to  secure  the

John  Endicott.  These  first  settlers  were  called  the  Old 
Planters. 

1628.    ARRIVAL  OF  THE  SHIP  ABIGAIL  WITH  Gov.  ENDICOTT 
AND  FIFTY  ENGLISH  SETTLERS. 

After  nearly  two  years  had  passed,  the  men  who  were 
with  Eoger  Conant  became  despondent  and  reproached 
Conant  for  his  unwillingness  to  allow  them  to  go  to  the 
Virginia  colonies  or  to  return  to  England.  Fortunately, 
at  this  point  the  Ship  Abigail  arrived  from  England, 
according  to  the  promises  made  by  Mr.  White  of  Dor- 
chester, and  John  Endicott,  who  had  been  appointed  Governor 
of  the  Massachusetts  Plantation,  came  with  his  wife  and 
about  fifty  other  persons  and  were  eagerly  welcomed  by  the 
Puritans  at  Naumkeag.

ENTRANCE  OF  SALEM,  CITY  OF  PEACE.  (Symbolism.) 
Salem  was  so  named  by  Rev.  Francis  Higginson  upon  his 
arrival  in  1629.  "In  Salem  also  is  his  tabernacle,  and  his 
dwelling  place  in  Zion.  There  brake  he  the  arrows  of  the 
bow,  the  shield,  and  the  sword,  and  the  battle." — Psalms 
LXXVI,  2. 

THE  FORMING  OF  THE  FIRST  CHURCH. 

To  secure  the  primary  object  of  their  emigration,  the  people 
of  Salem  immediately  took  measures  for  the  establishment  of 
a  church.  Samuel  Skelton  and  Francis  Higginson,  non- 
conforming  members  of  the  Church  of  England,  arrived  in 
Salem  in  1629.  A  covenant  was  drawn  up  and  subscribed  to 
by  thirty  persons,  thus  forming  a  new  communion  known  as 
the  First  Church,  and  ordained  Samuel  Skelton  as  minister 
and  Francis  Higginson  as  teacher.

ROGER  WILLIAMS,  MINISTER  OF  THE  FIRST  CHURCH,  BAN- 
ISHED BY  THE  GOVERNMENT. 

In  February,  1631,  Roger  Williams  arrived  in  Boston, 
and  almost  immediately  made  himself  obnoxious  to  the 
government  on  account  of  his  religious  opinions.  In 
spite  of  this  the  Salem  church  invited  him  to  come  there 
and  succeed  Higginson  as  their  teacher.  He  remained  with 
them  a  short  time,  then  went  to  Plymouth,  where  he  stayed 
two  years.  Then  again  being  asked  to  return  to  Salem  as  an 
assistant  to  Mr.  Skelton,  he  did  so  and  worked  with  him  in 
great  harmony  until  Mr.  Skelton'a  death  in  1634,  when  he 
became  sole  minister. 

Again  the  opposition  of  the  magistrates  was  renewed,  and 
he  was  finally  ordered  to  depart  from  this  jurisdiction  within 
six  weeks.  On  account  of  poor  health  he  was  given  permis- 
sion to  remain  until  spring,  but  as  he  continued  with  his 
teachings  it  was  determined  to  send  him  direct  to  England. 
Capt.  Underbill  was  sent  to  apprehend  him,  but  Williams  had 
gone,  where  they  could  not  learn. 

PERSECUTION  OF  THE  QUAKERS. 

Although  the  founders  of  Salem  came  there  for  religious 
freedom,  they  were  unwilling  to  grant  it  to  others.  The 
Quakers  were  cruelly  persecuted,  being  sold  into  slavery  and 
banished. 

SALEM  DELUDED  BY  WITCHCRAFT.    WITCHCRAFT  UNVEILED 
AND  DRIVEN  OUT.     (Symbolism). 

It  is  impossible,  in  a  few  lines,  to  give  an  adequate  account 
of  the  Witchcraft  Delusion  in  Salem  Village  in  1692.  That 
New  England  town  was,  in  fact,  a  great  moral  battleground 
where  the  powers  of  Light  wrestled  with  those  of  Darkness, 
where  a  death  blow  was  dealt  to  Error  and  Superstition, 
Reason  and  Humanity  winning  a  final  and  glorious  triumph.

TERPSICHORE,  THE  SPIRIT  OF  THE  DANCE.  (Symbolism). 
THE  BALL  IN  HONOR  OF  Gov.  GAGE. 

The  year  1774  in  Salem  was  crowded  with  historical  and 
memorable  incidents.  On  the  13th  of  May  Gen.  Thomas 
Gage  arrived  in  Boston,  as  Governor,  and  on  the  25th  the 
General  Court  met  at  Boston,  and  a  week  later  adjourned  to 
meet  in  Salem  on  the  7th  of  June.  Here  he  was  received  with 
great  ceremony  and  a  brilliant  ball  was  given  in  his  honor  at 
the  old  Assembly  Hall  on  Cambridge  Street. 

The    old-time    dances    introduced    at    the   ball    will    be    the    Minuet, 
Pavan  and  Contra  Dance. 

THE  LAST  ASSEMBLY.     DELEGATES  ELECTED  TO  THE  CON- 
GRESS AT  PHILADELPHIA,  JUNE  17, 1774. 

THE  FIRST  PROVINCIAL  CONGRESS. 

Among  other  resolves  passed  at  this  Assembly  was  one 
appointing  delegates  to  the  Congress  at  Philadelphia,  the 
purpose  of  this  Congress  being  to  consult  upon  measures  for 
the  restoration  of  harmony  between  Great  Britain  and  the 
Colonies.  This  displeased  Gov.  Gage  and  he  sent  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  Province,  Thomas  Flucker,  to  the  town  house 
with  a  proclamation  to  dissolve  the  General  Court.  A  mes- 
senger was  on  guard,  and  in  accordance  with  orders  given 
him  by  the  House,  refused  to  admit  the  Secretary  who  there- 
upon read  his  papers  on  the  stairs.  This  was  the  last  Gen- 
eral Court  held  in  Massachusetts  under  a  Provincial  Governor. 

Subsequently  the  Governor  called  a  general  court,  to  be 
held  in  Salem,  October  5th,  but  before  that  day  arrived

events  caused  him  to  reconsider  his  proclamation,  and  finally 
led  him  to  notify  the  representatives  that  the  session  would  not 
be  held.  Nevertheless,  two-thirds  of  the  number  appeared. 
Among  them  were  John  Hancock,  Robert  Treat  Paine,  and 
Benjamin  Lincoln.  Though  not  expecting  the  appearance  of 
the  Governor,  they  waited  with  respect  and  moderation  all  of 
the  first  day.  Then  they  organized  with  John  Hancock  chair- 
man, and  Benjamin  Lincoln  clerk.  The  following  day  they 
passed  resolutions  renouncing  the  authority  of  Parliament 
and  resolved  the  Assembly  into  a  Provincial  Congress,  and 
adjourned  to  meet  at  Concord  the  following  Thursday. 

LESLIE'S  KETREAT — THE  CALL  TO  ASMS. 

The  winter  of  1774-5  found  the  relations  between  England 
and  the  Colonies  becoming  more  strained.  Military 
stores  had  been  seized  in  various  places  by  the  British  troops, 
and  on  Sunday  afternoon,  Feb.  26,  word  went  out  that  a  de- 
tachment of  soldiers  under  Col.  Leslie  had  landed  at  Marble- 
head  and  were  marching  to  Salem  to  take  possession  of  some 
cannon  which  were  said  to  be  stored  in  North  Fields.  The 
troops  arrived  at  the  North  Bridge  to  find  the  draw  up  and 
a  large  number  of  the  inhabitants  assembled,  pastors  having 
dismissed  their  congregations  to  go  to  the  scene.  There  was 
some  parley  and  a  scuffle  between  some  of  the  soldiers  and 
citizens,  in  which  one  of  the  latter  was  wounded  by  a  bayo- 
net, and  this  was  the  first  blood  shed  in  the  Revolution, 
although  the  wound  was  not  a  mortal  one.  When  a  bloody 
conflict  seemed  inevitable  Rev.  Thomas  Barnard  of  the  North 
Church,  arrived,  and  by  his  arguments  and  mediation  Col. 
Leslie  agreed  on  a  compromise.  The  draw  was  lowered, 
the  troops  marched  over  the  bridge  and  then  marched  back, 
thereby  "saving  their  pride  and  honor."  Then  they  pro- 
ceeded to  Marblehead  and  thence  to  Boston.  Without  doubt, 
much  bloodshed  was  averted  by  the  eloquence  of  Parson 
Barnard  and  by  the  moderation  and  reason  of  Col.  Leslie.

This  incident  aroused  the  Salem  people  to  a  sense  of  their 
danger,  and  on  the  14th  of  March  all  persons  on  the  alarm 
list  were  called  to  arms,  and  on  the  25th  the  town  voted  to 
raise  two  companies  of  minute  men.  On  the  19th  of  April 
word  came  of  the  Battle  of  Lexington  and  as  soon  as  possible, 
Col.  Pickering,  with  a  body  of  troops,  hastened  to  the  scene. 

The  air,  or  music  of  the  tune  played  on  the  fife  and  drum  when 
Col.  Pickering's  regiment  marched  to  Lexington,  has  been  preserved 
by  the  Pickering  family  and  will  be  used  on  this  occasion.

RETURN  OF  MERCHANTMEN  BRINGING  TREASURES  TO  SALEM. 

Salem,  in  1750,  was  the  principal  seaport  of  the  Massachu- 
setts Province.  The  harbor  was  good  and  the  sturdy  men 
who  settled  here  were  possessed  of  the  most  unflagging  energy 
and  dauntless  courage.  A  century  ago  the  commercial  spirit 
of  Salem  was  at  its  height.  Its  ships  were  known  in  every 
port,  wonderful  cargoes  came  in  and  fortunes  were  made. 

"Salem  led  the  way  from  New  England  round  the  Cape  of 
Good  Hope  to  the  Isle  of  France  and  India  and  China.  Her 
vessels  were  the  first  from  this  country  to  display  the  Ameri- 
can flag  and  open  trade  with  St.  Petersburg  and  Zanzibar 
and  Sumatra;  with  Calcutta  and  Bombay;  with  Batavia  and 
Arabia;  with  Madagascar  and  Australia."

NINETEENTH  CENTUEY  DATS. 
THE  SALEM  OF  ROMANCE.    NATHANIEL  HAWTHORNE. 

The  name  of  Nathaniel  Hawthorne  is  indissolubly  con- 
nected with  Salem,  and  his  birthplace  and  the  houses  in  which 
he  lived  and  wrote  his  masterpieces  of  the  languages,  are 
Meccas  for  travellers  and  lovers  of  his  hooks.  He  was  born 
on  Union  Street  in  1804,  made  Salem  his  home  at  intervals, 
and  was  Surveyor  of  the  Port  in  1846-9.  His  books  which 
had  Salem  for  a  setting  are  "The  Scarlet  Letter",  founded  on 
facts  alleged  to  have  been  taken  from  manuscripts  found  in 
the  Custom  House,  "The  House  of  Seven  Gables",  "Dr.  Grim- 
shawe's  Secret",  and  some  of  the  "Twice  Told  Tales." 

THE  CLOSE  OF  THE  CIVIL  WAR.   ENTRANCE  OF  THE  GRAND 

ARMY. 

In  the  fever  and  excitement  of  the  patriotism  which  filled 
the  country  at  the  call  of  President  Lincoln  for  75,000 
troops,  Massachusetts  was  the  first  to  respond,  and  in  the  fol- 
lowing years  Salem  did  more  than  her  share. 

At  home  the  women  did  their  part,  picking  lint,  making 
bandages,  knitting  socks  and  mittens,  packing  barrels  of 
clothing  and  food  for  the  soldiers  in  the  hospitals  and  at  the 
front,  and  keeping  the  homes  for  those  who  returned,  many 
of  them  wounded  and  enfeebled  for  the  remainder  of  their 
lives.

with  reference  to  beauty  and  fitness,  and  the  Salem  motif

but  was  put  aside  and  not  published  until  two  years  later. 
At  first  he  wanted  to  name  the  hymn  for  his  wife,  but  her 
name  not  being  quite  adaptable  for  it,  he  decided  to  name  it 
for  the  street  in  Salem  on  which  was  the  house  where  she
